Mail merge dilemma!!
I am doing a mail merge in word 2003 but taking addresses from an excel
worksheet. When I get to choosing recepients the columns are all messed up. Basically instead of customer, address, zip it just recognizes address & zip. Whay is it not recognizing what I have in excel? |

Mail merge dilemma!!
There are 5 columns.
Customer, Street address, City, State, Zip Also when I do preview the labels it only does one page of labels. Thanks! "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: What are the field names of your Excel data?

The preview issue is normal. You have not completed the merge. You must
merge to the printer or to a new document. See http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...#only_one_page As for the Excel data see http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...th_word_xp.htm and avoid using the addressblock field. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org kimcox_74 wrote: There are 5 columns.
